Engineering Materials For Manufacturing Applications

Quartz Materials

Fused Quartz products are manufactured from Quartz crystals into optically clear or transparent parts and Fused Silica products are manufactured from natural sand into optically opaque parts. The two products are distinguished between the transparent and opaque characteristics of the materials.

As the technology of the Quartz Manufacturing industry evolved, it has resulted in optically clear characteristics for both material types, where naturally occurring sand crystals when melted are now called Fused Quartz and synthetically manufactured Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) are now known as Synthetic Fused Silica.

Typical Properties of Quartz Materials

The properties of Quartz Materials are highly demanding in the Semiconductor and Fibre Optics Industries. Their Properties include:
